It’s pointless trying to extrapolate the lows from a one-off event into a prolonged price crash.
With the on-going reduction in exploration leading to diminishing reserves, once the demand goes back up (which it will, even with a short-term drop due to omicron) there’s only one direction that oil is going IMO.
As we’ve seen recently, we can’t rely on solar/wind for enough energy, and the small nuclear reactors are still a long-way off. The only viable sources of energy are oil, gas and coal. If anyone seriously expects the main users of fossil fuels (China, India) to curtail their use they are deluded. Also, as Africa needs to develop further, the only way that will be achieved is via cheap energy - which means fossil fuels.
Won’t make Greta happy, but then nothing does.
